Even though I can not sing or play an instrument music has always been a big part of my life. True that is the case for millions of people but I can only tell you about how it has affected my life. I could give you countless examples but will spare you for now and only talk about one .
A couple of months ago I bought a cd that has profoundly affected my life ever since. At the time I did not think much about it. I only knew that I was seeking something more out of life. there was this horrible emptiness in my heart and mind that nothing seemed to satisfy.
The reason being I was fighting a long battle with chronic pain and its usual companion depression. I was losing the battle. I had fought the good fight for nearly 20 years thinking I can beat this by myself. Doctors, medicines, theraphy, pain clinics on ocassions brought temporary relief some times but nothing lasted . Everybody including my friends and most of my relatives wrote me off as just another" woe is me", feeling sorry for himself type.
